[SOLVED] Is it compatible

[Dj0gany]

Hi,i have a ih61m mobo which currently has i3-3240 in it and im planning on upgrading that to a i7-3770.
I saw that the motherboard is compatible with it and that there are even ThinkCentre Edge 72's that come with it,but you never know and i dont want to spend money on something that wont work.
For anyone wondering i had a ThinkCentre Edge 72,but i took out the mobo and put it in a nicer case.

Rest of the PC:
-R9 380 4gb from GIGABYTE
-2x8gb ddr3 1333mhz
-chieftec elp-700s 700W
-1tb hdd

Thanks in advance.

From this yes. If it's one of these.

The document applies to the following systems:

- ThinkCentre Edge 72 (Tower Form Factor) (type 3484, 3485, and 3492)

thanks,no bios updates or anything?
I think a bios update would be a problem since the latest ones are for windows 7,and i have windows 10 pro 64-bit.

thanks for the reply

I edited my post look at it again.

And no BIOS update should be needed since it's in the same family.
